Watching the nothing happening

For a long time now i have wanted an internet enabled camera so i can see what happens in my house during the day when i am out. Of course nothing should happen if the house is unoccupied but for some reason i want to see nothing happening... or even better find out that my model aeroplanes somehow fly around on their own when i'm out!

I finally bought a very cheap camera which works fine, though its wi-fi range is very short but i suppose you get what you pay for. I haven't yet turned it on during the day when i'm out but here is a test photo of my landing. I could leave this on at night and see if it picks up the ghost that occaisionally haunts that area of the house on the infrared mode of the camera, though maybe some things are best left unseen.

Kindle sleeve

In January i bought a Kindle e-reader which i truly love, and you can read a post on my other blog about it here. However one thing about the Kindle is that it does feel less robust than some other items such as the iPad so i thought it was time i bought a sleeve or case for the Kindle. After some debate with colleagues via Twitter i decided upon this Timbuk2 sleeve which fits the Kindle perfectly. Its a very nicely made sleeve though rather pricy. You get what you pay for of course and hopefully this will keep my Kindle safe through countless Star Trek novels.
